Transform Curve

A transform curve is a copy of the original curve with a different position, rotation, or scale.

Curve used to create a transform curve

Transform curves have no special Parameters rollout. You can later transform the transform curve as a Curve sub-object, and you can animate Curve sub-object transforms.

How To

To create a transform curve:

  1. In a NURBS object that contains at least one curve, turn on Transform.
  2. To move the transform curve, click and drag the curve you want to duplicate. To rotate or scale the transform curve, click the parent curve, click to turn on Sub-Object in the Modifier Stack rollout, choose Curve from the dropdown list, and then use a transform to rotate or scale the transform curve.

    3. When you use Move to create the transform curve, it simply copies the parent (it doesn’t exaggerate curvature as an offset curve does.)
